Christ Collides with our Blinders: Lent 5

This Sunday we welcomed Dwight Eisler and his friend Lynal Ernest.

From Dwight:
Our lent season has the theme “Christ Collides” and this week it is “Christ collides with Our Blinders”. I think in some way we all struggle with seeing people as people at times. The scripture passages we read (Luke 18:31-19:10) talks about that. I want to focus on the process of getting to know the person we think is the “other”. I have gotten to know Lynal over the past three years in our community and we have had conversations that have been a wonderful learning experience for both of us. I have discovered that Lynal is a First Nations drummer, singer, travels extensively, and has begun to be a voice of sharing about First Nations at many gatherings. The process has deeply affected me, and I would like others to know about someone’s struggles and successes, so the “other” becomes a friend. I hope you find something engaging in this conversation with Lynal.
